Hi,
Anyone on Australia having problems with not receiving parcels from England? I have two small packets sent about the same time from two separate friends in the UK, still not arrived, yet received a large parcel which took 8 days from Portugal and another 7 days from the USA, about what I would expect.
Alan, one of the parcels are the two camera lenses!
Clear skies, Shevill
Post Script, received the parcel from Alan, safe & sound, 7th November.
Looks like it was caught up in the mail post early for Xmas overseas mail. Many thanks, Alan, Shevill 'Down Under'

Don't understand it Shevill. I was told about 9 days by the post office. Maybe they got it wrong.

What is amazing is that a clothing company in the UK can have an article of clothing delivered to your door here in Australia in 3 days. Sometimes 2 days! Local post takes longer than that!!! It takes nearly a week for a letter to get to me from another state!
I wonder what their secret to super fast international delivery is.
They advertise on TV about their clothing. You go online, order and pay and the item arrives 2 - 3 days later, from the UK.

I have sent items to Australia and it took over 3 moths once and almost 2 months another time. I even sent one of the guys his money back. Then he sent me back my money because it arrived a few weeks later. I have never understood how it can take so long. I sent a focal reducer to Africa once and that took almost 3 months also. Martin never asked me where it was. LOL It did get there , but how or why it took so long I have no idea. He acted like it was normal.

Strange. I never have delays on international postage. I occasionally order stuff from USA and it gets to my door in about 4 - 6 days. My wife orders stuff from USA and gets the same result. She also orders stuff from UK and gets it within 6 days. I sent a DSI camera to a young chap in Taiwan and he got it in 2 days!!! Even when Jack sent my Mallincam from Louisiana it only took 6 days to reach me. The order took weeks but from the day Jack sent the email saying he just posted my camera, it was 6 days to my door. I think the longest anything has ever taken from overseas to reach me would be about 10 days. Strange how some of you wait months for deliveries
